See the meta posts linked above, and also this main meta post. In short, we should all try to read or learn about The Epic of Gilgamesh (maybe in September?) and post thoughtful and interesting questions about it in October - November.

Participation is not obligatory in any sense, but those who participate will be forever remembered in the annals of our history. And of course it goes without saying that questions on other works are always welcome too; they just won't count as part of this topic challenge.

How can I take part?

By getting hold of The Epic of Gilgamesh, in whatever language you prefer, and asking good questions about it. These questions should be tagged with epic-of-gilgamesh and sumerian-literature, and whatever other tags are applicable. We'll keep a list of all such questions in an answer to this meta post.

Despite its importance in the history of literature, we've had very few questions about it so far. There could be questions about the plot of the story; its discovery in the 19th century; differences between versions of the text; its connections with other literature; and more!
